- 14 years, 2 months, and 21 days was not long enough. This is my tribute to my beautiful, smart, loving, super-sweet Golden Girl, Marly. She got her name from our then 14-year-old daughter who loved the movie, Marley & Me. Since our Marly was a girl and the movie Marley was a boy, she wanted to drop the e, so we did.
We got her as an 8-week-old pup and have made so many fun memories over the years. It was hard watching her grow old and not being able to do all the things she once loved doing, like chasing the ball for hours, hiking, going on long walks, attending events, playing tug of war, chasing birds, squirrels, and rabbits, swimming (gravel pits and the Gulf, but not our pool for some reason known only to her - maybe because she couldn't touch the bottom)…. She liked hanging out with us at the pool. We would throw the ball around the lanai and she would retrieve it and then insist on dropping it into the water but only through the middle of a blow-up donut float.
She was truly Queen of the Ball. When she was younger, she could play ball for hours and would be so sad when we would make her come inside. We continued this ball playing in our front yard when we moved to FL. It was because of her that we met some of the friends we have today. In this past year, ball playing was usually just keeping the ball near her and occasionally carrying it in her mouth. Sometimes we played soccer, rolling it to her when she would lay at the edge of the driveway. That was her way of letting us know that she wanted to play.
Once we moved to FL and had crosswalks, we noticed that she always walked on the white line when we crossed the street, whether she was on leash or not - she always Walked the Line.
We found new ways to spend time with her as she aged and she even met a new boyfriend, Murphy, later in life. They had about 4 years together and enjoyed swapping drool, begging for treats, CrunchyO's, of course, taking short walks, playing with toys, stealing the toys from each other, showing off for neighbors, greeting walkers on the sidewalk….. I'm sure I've forgotten a few of their favorites. It was a time that we all looked forward to every day.
I tried to make her video short, but I just couldn’t stuff 14 years into a short window. Marly was so precious to us and I have thousands of pictures and videos so I picked some of my favorites. We gave this amazing girl the best life we could and in return, she loved us unconditionally and showed it every day. I know with all my heart that she made me a better person. Our family feels very fortunate to have had someone so special in our lives that makes saying goodbye so very hard. I miss her so much:(
She has been the hardest goodbye. MyMarlyGirl 12/30/2008 - 3/21/2023 RIP Sweet Girl

Hold all those wonderful memories in your heart, for Marly's life made your life so much better. Thank you for sharing her some of her spirit with us.
Hello, this is Eddie also known as Marly's Dad. When we moved to Florida 6 years ago Marly took to the front yard every evening to play and meet the other neighborhood dogs that would go by. She made many friends and one very special one Murphy from a few houses down the street. Murphy was a much younger guy but she didn't care. He came to play almost everyday. He is a little lost now that she is not out there to greet him as he comes by for his evening walk. She will be missed by many especially Murphy her boy friend. I recommend you checkout the two of them singing Christmas carols. I will miss her very much like when she would perk up when I grabbed a apple out of the frig and follow me everywhere I went hoping to get a few little pieces which she always did.
You sound like a great father. Bless you for showing your love for another being. It takes strength to be gentle and kind.
So very sad for you loss, but when they pass they take a piece of our hearts.
Adorable, sweet, loving, joyful Marly is in heaven with my Goldie Girl Penny playing ball and having fun! They both had wonderful, happy lives and always felt loved. Smile and remember the joy and love shared. How lucky were we?!!!!!
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing😍💕
All dogs go to heaven
